Kristen McMenamy by Dancian for Zoo Magazine F/W 2013.14

Kristen McMenamy captures the sanctitude of solitude in this courageous coverstory shot by Dancian for Zoo Magazine. At once both inviting and excluding this edgy editorial interprets the art of isolation with evocative images that erupt into a powerful piece of performance art. Capturing the intoxicating effect of McMenamy’s ever-changing affect, Dancian discovers a world of emotion displayed across her expressive face. Seeking a connection she’s caught in a perpetual cycle of longing whereby she erects into upright positions of openness only to fall again to the fear of loss. Wearing a chaotic mix of beatnik-grunge & cabaret-punk (stylist) Jo Barker reflects on life’s loneliness with looks that evoke an eclectic vision of artful indecision. A moving metaphor for modern life, experience the ethereal mastery of Kristen McMenamy with a story that takes us through a spectrum of idiomatic expression. Exploring the fractured harmony of existence, Dancian’s intimate peak into the portals of the mind provide a poignant picture of solace and strength.
